The Festival of Lights opening ceremony scheduled for last Saturday was postponed due to rain and will be held this evening. Organizer Barb Burton announced says Simpson Park will be closed to traffic from 5:00 to 7:00 pm to allow the public to enjoy the ceremony and the park. The ceremony will start at 5:30 and while Santa will not be there in person, he will have a special message for the children. Santa will also lead the countdown to the lighting of the park.
Children are encouraged to bring their letters to Santa and drop them in the Festival of Lights donation box so he can retrieve them in time for Christmas.
